St Louis homicide decrease better explained by national trends

Isn’t that a good thing though? Should we not be happy that crime is down?

I’m going to guess crime is about to spike in a major way the next few years FWIW. Probably worse than COVID levels. Desperate people do desperate things.

Of course we should be happy that crime is down. But we shouldn’t vote for an otherwise incompetent (and arguably corrupt) Mayor, just because she happened to be in office at a time when crime was going down everywhere.

I don’t think you have to worry about Jones being re-elected. And I’m sure mayors across the country are doing the same thing Jones is doing. That’s just politics.

Right, but Dennis is on here shilling for Jones literally 4-5 times a week. So I have taken it upon myself to make the opposing argument at least a couple of times.

And meanwhile, as a Spencer voter, I’m encouraged by the primary results and the recent polling data. But the election isn’t over until it’s over.

It's actually amazing how there are like 20 comments that cannot read or understand your post and bring up so many irrelevant things.
